WHAT IS SCRIP?

Scrip is a gift card that looks identical to one you might purchase at your local store. The only difference is that the business has attached a rebate to the card that benefits both KCA and YOU!Simply purchase gift (scrip) cards through KCA for your favorite grocery or clothing stores, restaurants, catalog companies, home improvement store, specialty store or movie theater. Each gift (scrip) card you purchase will give a specific dollar value rebate back to KCA. After the first $100 in rebates you earn, KCA will pass any additional rebates you earn to you to use as a Tuition Credit. Here are a few examples of providers and the rebates they give back, there are many more to choose from.

Interested in learning how you can use Scrip to earn $2,000 in tuition credit like one of our families did last year? Well now is your chance! The workshops will be held in the KCA computer lab where you will be able to log-in and have hands on training. You will learn everything there is to know about scrip and how you can take advantage and earn tuition credit for your family.

BOTTOM LINE …HOW MUCH CAN I EARN WITH SCRIP?

Last year our top family earned $900 in Tuition Credit!

This year, one of our families has already earned over $1,000 in rebates because they used Scrip cards for a home remodeling project over the summer. The sky is the limit — there is no cap to the amount of tuition credit rebates you can earn.
